Adjective Clause

ADJECTIVE CLAUSE

An adjective clause is a subordinate clause used to modify a noun or a pronoun in the main clause. It may be introduced by the pronouns who,whose,whom,which, or  that (and sometime when or where). These  pronouns are called relative pronouns because they relate to a noun or a pronoun in the sentence. Occasionally, no relative pronoun is used, but it is implied or understood

Is she the girl whom you met at the party? (whom  relates to girl )
This is a book that i like. (that relates to book )
This is a book in like. (that is implied)
This is house where Washington slept. (where relates to house)
